1962 Map of Midland South

About this map

The Tittabawassee River flows southeast through this 1962 landscape, serving as a geographic anchor for the burgeoning city of Midland and its industrial outskirts. The urban core shows a dense grid of schools and parks, including State Street Sch and Central Park, while the surrounding countryside in Ingersoll and Williams townships remains defined by a complex network of drainage canals. These engineered waterways, such as Engle Drain and Major Drain, reflect the intensive land management required for agriculture and industry in the Saginaw Valley.
